Dave Christensen enters his fourth season as head coach of the Wyoming Cowboys in 2012. His third season at Wyoming was his team’s best, as he led Wyoming to a third-place finish in the Mountain West Conference and was named Mountain West Coach of the Year. He became the firstf Wyoming football coach to earn Coach of the Year honors since Joe Tiller in 1996. Wyoming’s third-place finish in the Mountain West in 2011 placed them behind only No. 13 ranked TCU and No. 6 ranked Boise State. His Cowboys ranked as the sixth most improved teamt in the nation in 2011, and they were the surprise team in the Mountain West, finishing third after being picked sixth in the conference’s preseason poll. UW’s 8-5 record was its first eight-win season since 1998. The Cowboys’ third-place finish and 5-2 conference record matched Wyoming’s best since becoming a member of the Mountain West in 1999. The Cowboys’ victories in 2011 included road wins over Mountain West rivals Colorado State, Air Force and San Diego State. The Pokes’ win over CSU marked the third consecutive over thet Rams. Wyoming hadn’t won three in a row over Colorado State since 1987, ‘88 and ‘89, and hadn’t won consecutive road games vs. CSU since 1996 and ‘98. By defeating both Air Force and Colorado State in 2011, the Pokes accomplished a sweep of their Front Range rivals for the first timet since 1996. The 2011 season concluded with Wyoming earning a bid to the Gildan New Mexico Bowl versusv Temple. It was the second time in his three seasons as head coach that Christensen guided WyomingW to a bowl game. The last time that occurred at Wyoming was 1988-90. The only conference teams to defeat UW in 2011 were nationally-ranked TCU and Boise State, who finished first and second in the MW, respectively. Christensen’s 2011 team became his second in three seasons to win at least seven games. His 2009 Cowboy squad posted a 7-6 record. On Jan. 12, 2012, it was announced that the University of Wyoming had signed Christensen to a new five-year contract that will run through Dec. 31, 2016. You couldn’t have asked for much more from a head coach in his first season. Dave Christensen’s first year as a college head coach in 2009 was filled with highlights. He led the Wyoming Cowboys to a bowl game in his first season, becoming only the second Cowboy head coach to accomplish that feat -- the other being Paul Roach in 1987. Christensen became the first UW head coach to win a bowl game in his first season, as his Pokes defeated Fresno State, 35-28 in double overtime, in the New Mexico Bowl. He also guided Wyoming to a road win over archrival Colorado State in the regular-season finale, bringing the Bronze Boot back to Laramie. For a team that began the season picked to finish last (ninth) in the Mountain West Conference preseason poll, Christensen’s Cowboys ended the season with a 7-6 overall record, a 4-4 league mark and a fifth-place finish in a league that had three teams end the season ranked among the Top 18 in both the Associated Press Media Poll and USA Today Coaches’ Poll. And his team accomplished all this while playing a schedule that was ranked as the eighth toughest in the nation and included BCS national runner- up Texas. All told, Christensen had seven of his Cowboys earn All-Conference honors his first season at UW. While he delivered on his promise to the 2009 senior class that he would do everything he could to get them to a bowl game, he also built a team with an eye toward the future. In his second season at UW, Christensen’s young team faced one of the nation’s most difficult schedules, playing three teams that were ranked in the Top 5 in the nation at the time the Cowboys faced them (No. 3 Boise State, No. 4 Texas and No. 5 TCU) and playing a fourth Top 10 ranked team in No. 10 Utah. Wyoming ended Christensen’s second season on a high note, defeating archrival Colorado State, 44-0, in the season finale. Eight Cowboys earned All-Conference recognition at the conclusion of the season -- two Second Team selections and six Honorable Mention honorees. Wyoming Football hired its dynamic and innovative new leader on Dec. 1, 2008, as University of Wyoming Athletics Director Tom Burman announced that Christensen, then the Assistant Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator at Missouri, had been selected as the new head coach of the Cowboys. Christensen became the 31st coach in Wyoming Football history, and was signed to a five-year contract -- a contract that was extended in the spring of 2010 to run through Dec. 31, 2014. While the offensive coordinator at Missouri, Christensen was named the 2007 National Offensive Coordinator of the Year by Rivals.com and was also runner-up for the 2007 Frank , which honors the top assistant coach in the nation each season. He helped lead the Missouri Tigers to the Big 12 Championship game in both the 2007 and 2008 seasons as champions of the Big 12 North. In 2008, Mizzou ranked No. 4 in the NCAA in passing offense (330.4 yards per game), No. 6 in scoring offense (42.2 points per game) and No. 8 in total offense (484.1 yards per game). The Tigers concluded the 2008 season ranked No. 16 in the final USA Today Coaches’ Poll, No. 19 in the final Associated Press Media Poll and were No. 21 in the final BCS Rankings entering the college bowl season. Missouri defeated Northwestern, 30-23 in overtime, in the 2008 Valero . The 2007 season saw Missouri conclude the season ranked No. 4 in the final Associated Press ranking. That was the highest season-ending ranking in school history for the Tigers. Mizzou finished the season by defeating Arkansas, 38-7, in the Cotton Bowl, giving the Tigers a school record 12th win on the season. His 2007 offense ranked No. 5 in the nation in total offense (490.3 yards per game), No. 8 in scoring offense (39.9 points per game) and No. 9 in passing offense (314.1 yards per game). Christensen earned a bachelor of arts degree in sociology from Western Washington in 1985 and a master of science degree in college instruction and sports science from Eastern Washington in 1988. He is 51 years old, born Jan. 17, 1961. Christensen and his wife Susie have three children, Katie, D.J. and Emily. www.WyomingAthletics.com Page 22 WYOMING Dave Christensen (Western Washington ‘85) FOOTBALL 2012 Head Football Coach, University of Wyoming Coaching Honors 2011 Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year, As selected by MW Coaches and Media 2007 National Offensive Coordinator of the Year, As selected by Rivals.com 2007 Runner-up for Frank Broyles Award as Assistant Coach of the Year Postseason Coaching Experience 2009 New Mexico Bowl Champions, Wyoming defeated Fresno State, 35-28 in double overtime, on Dec. 19, 2009 2008 Valero Alamo Bowl Champions, Missouri defeated Northwestern, 30-23 in overtime, on Dec. 29, 2008 2008 AT&T Cotton Bowl Champions, Missouri defeated Arkansas, 38-7, on Jan. 1, 2008 2006 Sun Bowl, Missouri lost to Oregon State, 38-39, on Dec. 29, 2006 2005 Champions, Missouri defeated South Carolina, 38-31, on Dec. 30, 2005 2003 Independence Bowl, Missouri lost to Arkansas, 14-27, on Dec. 31, 2003 1995 Las Vegas Bowl Champions, Toledo defeated Nevada, 40-37 in overtime, on Dec. 13, 1995 1989 Freedom Bowl Champions, Washington defeated Florida, 34-7, on Dec. 30, 1989 Championship Teams 2008 Big 12 Conference North Champions 2007 Big 12 Conference North Champions 2000 Mid-American Conference West Co-Champions 1998 Mid-American Conference West Champions 1997 Mid-American Conference West Champions 1995 Mid-American Conference Champions College Head-Coaching Record Overall Record Conference Record Conference Postseason Season School W L % W L % Finish Appearance 2011 Wyoming 8 5 .615 5 2 .714 3rd N.M.
